Abstract :
Summary form only given. Laser ablation plays an important role in the processing and structuring of materials. By suitably choosing laser parameters such as wavelength, intensity and pulse duration, ablation tan be tailored to meet specific tasks. Recently, it has been reported that ultrashort laser pulses provide distinct advantages in certain applications. These findings have stimulated interest in the physical understanding of the mechanisms of short pulse laser ablation.
